I hope it is both because the Bengals really are that bad. Their offensive line is terrible, especially in pass protection.
I don't mind the occasional breather, but not on fourth-and-goal.
The Bengals really do suck up front. Even Alualu made a play.
You are correct, but he was also horrible in coverage last season.
How is it pass interference with the ball that far overthrown? A holding call would have been fine, but that was not a catchable ball.
I guess Heyward didn't need a breather after all. :)
Hilton really stepped up tonight and he did it against Boyd, a very good slot receiver.
Fitzpatrick tackles extremely well. He had a quiet night, but it sure seems as if he's doing his job very well.
It is fourth-and-goal. Your main guys need to be on the field.
He has played plenty this half. Hargrave was also on the sideline. One of those guys needs to be out there over Alualu.
Bos is back!?
What happened to Pouncey there?
Barron made a play! (I still hate that Alualu was on the field, getting no pressure at all, while Heyward was on the sideline in that situation.)
Why is Alualu out there on the field in this situation?
I like giving Barron help with Eifert on that play.
Seriously, just this once, I'd like to see the defense step up and get a big stop after the officials extend a drive with a bad call.
The defense could step up after the penalty, but they aren't doing it.
Ugh Of course, the officials give the Bengals new life.
Even Elliott is getting snaps? Play the starters! (He did a good job, but wtf?!)
They gave Dalton too much time there on third down. Of course, for some reason, Alualu was out there with Tuitt and Gravedigger on the sideline.
